Great holiday!What a wonderful collection of activities, and how important for city kids to know farm life! Such a contrast to your Christmas vacation. I love being on the beach and swimming, but this farm/wine stay had such great variety of things to do.

Great to see you got your travel in!However......did you have to end this blog with Now off to Krabi :p Insanely Jealous - have a meal at Kruatthara - your kids will enjoy the mini waitresses. Singapore hotel rooms do tend to be on the $$$ side for very little dont they? Glad you got to open the park how fantastic for your little ones.

Thanks cindyYes had to go super commercial then end with something a bit more real... But, turns out in the 4 years since i was herd krabi had grown up! Free wifi for example :) still, tomorrow we are off on a longtail, wish you were here ;)

TouristsThanks! Cairns is super touristy which is weird but then we are currently tourists so also handy! I dont really understand the bat issue but there is entire block were no one can park cars due to amount of poo! Strange issue to have haha. But still, move the parking!

Bats, koalas and mango trees--wow!Sounds like a very fun trip-how great to see talents coming out in the kids (the little one's golf swing). Sad and bizarre that the city wants to get rid of bats when they eat the mozzies that were eating you, and must be something of a tourist attraction. I loved your photos of them. Sorry to hear of your father's passing, though Cairns looks like a fun vacation venue to combine with family visits--lucky you!

Hi Bob, yes the Kuta part was a bit of a worry but we didnt really see it as we'd be back at our hotel by 9pm each night so apart from some drunk aussies quite early on Australia Day, not too much 'bad'behaviour. Lol - the kids have been down baglor road in patong so have seen some interesting things :)

So cute!The little bunk beds and all the kids' activities were so adorable! How great that you chose a place that would entertain the little ones while you two got to enjoy yourselves, too. A fine pampering before school and fine tales for Midgit when he has to tell the class what he did on his summer holidays.

Food pricesHi Shane, i found the prices were pretty much the same as here. In supermarkets it was way cheaper, but at a restaraunt or cafe we found it pretty much the same price if you convert. For example, a coffee would be 3 euros so AUD$4-5. One cafe we went for lunch the salads were 15 euro so AUD$20+. A croissant in a patisserie was 95 cents but i'm sure here in a bakery they would be about $2.
So i guess good that it doesnt cost more! But no so good for a family of 4 eating out two meals a day...

Thanks Guys!Yes they were very excited to spend an 'entire' day on a plane lol! We even put the into pj's then into new clothes to try and help :) and break up the time! The food has been very good and had 2 croissants for bfast - might need to diet big time on my return

I am a very devoted and addicted traveller so just want to talk travel. Where to go, what to do, when to do it etc etc. My hubby and I have been to loads of places....all over Australia, all over the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Spain, Amsterdam, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Bahamas, Barbados, Mexico, South Africa, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia off the top of my head :)
But...in 2007 our lives changed and along came our little Midget and in 2010 the Little Miss arrived too. We've continued our travels but have stuck to around 10,000km s... full info
